Day 29: Ceduna to Streaky Bay

Everyone seems much better after a rest day following the long stretch across the Nullarbor. It felt everyone was apprehensive crossing the Nullarbor and are now much more relaxed and in a holiday mood. They have all found their riding mojo and are a lot more confident that they will make the whole distance. The group is starting to jell nicely.

Today we head down the Eyre Penisular with our first stop being Streaky Bay. The winds are favourable for most of the day and the temperature is in the low 20's- very nice. We see our first sight of water by just before lunchtime and it is magnificent.

We arrived in Streaky Bay by 1 pm after what the riders called a dream run. Doug said it was the best days ride yet. He did leave Di behind a little bit today so I'm not sure how she felt. The caravan park here is on the foreshore and we are right on the beach. The water is calm and serene creating a very relaxed afternoon.

Peter bought himself a dozen oysters and he got another dozen for Doug and Di. Everyone went to the pub for dinner and the food was very nice. The boys stayed behind (Jim and Collis that is) to watch the Swans game where they got slaughtered and also the OZ vs NZ rugby game where OZ beat the Kiwis. Poor Jim will not live that one down for awhile.
